Re: cutting: my friends are no help - August 2nd 2012, 02:13 AM

I know what you mean. A lot of people don't understand self harm at all so it might be difficult to get the support you need. I'd suggest explaining why you self harm and how it helps you cope to someone who you really trust and is good at listening. That way they should understand where you're coming from better. If you feel uncomfortable explaining you could always just write it out and give it to them or forward them a website dedicated to info on self harm. Maybe check out TH's articles on self harm and whatnot? http://www.teenhelp.org/resources/

Out of the ashes I'm burning like a fire. You can save your apologies, you're nothing but a liar. I've got shame, I've got scars that I will never show. I'm a survivor in more ways than you know. 'Cause all the pain and the truth, I wear like a battle wound. So ashamed, so confused, I was broken and bruised. Now I'm a warrior.
